A working FAT and SAT checklist for SMT inspection equipment: what to bring, how to set acceptance criteria, which machine, program, data and integration checks to run, how to close issues, and what to verify again after installation.

A position-by-position guide to planning inspection locations on an SMT line: place SPI, AOI, X-ray, first article and electrical test inside the detection window of the defects they own, with the repair path, handling, buffering and data connections each position needs.

A practical comparison of inline and offline SMT inspection equipment: how throughput, coverage, board handling, floor space, repair loop, labour and total cost decide which configuration fits each checkpoint on your line.

A step-by-step SMT inspection plan for PCB assembly: assign one checkpoint to each failure mode, from solder paste inspection after the printer through AOI, X-ray, first article verification and final electrical test, with a defined action at every trigger.
